Good selection! I’ve seen them all except The Banshee Chapter, and I agree that they belong in this category. Europa Report was not particularly scary, but it definitely had a weird vibe, and was beautiful to look at. Yellow Brick Road was creepy in that “I want to look over my shoulder but am afraid of what I might see” kind of way.
For a future update, may I recommend Dead Birds and Red Sands, both by director Alex Turner?

Thanks for adding them (and for the comments).
I noted down “The Banshee Chapter” from the 25 top horror stories podcast.
About “The Midnight Meat Train” I would recommend the tale because its ending is different, I preffered it, and somehow reminded me of the ending of Poe’s “The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym”.

Realy nice selection! I must see “Midnight Meat Train”. I would also add “The Theatre Bizarre” in wich one of the short stories called “Mother of Toads” is a loose adaptation of a Clark Ashton Smith supernatural horror story. Another good one might be “Dreamcatcher” by Donnie Wahlberg.
